Then Dan Pasternack stops by talk about his new special “OCD (Obsessive Comedy Disorder): The 60-Year History of the Comedy Grammy Award.” It’s a deep dive into the art of comedy, the recording industry and the Grammy award itself have all evolved over six decades.

Hughley, Fred Armisen, Kelly Carlin and even archival clips of relevant interviews with Bob Newhart and George Carlin. It airs on the Comedy Greats channel (Sirius XM channel 94.)
